Satyameva Jayate 2, written and directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, is many issues nevertheless it’s not a movie. You could possibly view it as an expansive showreel for John Abraham’s physique. He performs three characters – a father and his twin sons.  All three have granite muscle mass and abs that appear sculpted from stone. In a single scene, the cop character is taunted by a hoodlum he’s beating up that he’s hiding behind his vardi. To which, the policeman says, ‘saaf saaf bol physique dekhna chahta hai. Teri galti nahin hai.  Public ki bhi yehi demand hai.’ He then proceeds to take his shirt off whereas the digital camera swirls round his spectacular torso. In different scenes, there are tight close-ups of John’s biceps. John is likely to be taking part in a dad however he doesn’t have a dad bod. It doesn’t matter what decade the motion is ready in or whether or not the character is a cop or dwelling minister or anti-corruption crusader, John’s formidable physique stays intact. His character doesn’t change a lot both. The three avatars are interchangeable.

You could possibly additionally view Satyameva Jayate 2 as a tour of the issues that plaque the nation. As a result of Milap hasn’t actually written a script. He’s stitched collectively assorted scenes that expose corruption, atrocities towards ladies and kids, venal politicians and policemen. A beggar little one burns himself to loss of life. A girl is raped. Youngsters die after consuming adulterated meals. A authorities hospital refuses to deal with a severely injured affected person. It’s a gallery of horrors that may solely be fastened with one of many John characters stepping in. Fortunately, a model is all the time round, with fists able to inflict harm. In a way this movie additionally supplies the definitive reply to the query – What number of John Abrahams in a movie is just too many John Abrahams? I believe three is the restrict.

Or you would see Satyameva Jayate 2 as a tutorial on how to not make a film. Milap takes satisfaction in calling himself a ‘mass’ movie director. Which signifies that he goals to ship leisure. I’m a lover of mass motion pictures however the issue with this one is that it’s singularly not entertaining.  Satyameva Jayate 2 begins with a visible of the Tricolor after which over the subsequent 138 minutes, the movie batters us with ear-splitting background music, grotesque visuals, feeble dialogues which are determined to land punches and beautifully hammy performing. The more severe offender is Divya Khosla Kumar who performs a politician. I think she believes that the way in which to assemble an intense efficiency isn’t blinking in any respect. So she widens her stunning eyes and delivers traces with out the slightest expression.

After a while, the assault grew to become so relentless that I grew to become lightheaded and began to seek out humour within the proceedings. There’s a scene through which one of many Johns is giving blood to his spouse when goons assault him. He decides to take them on with one-hand as a result of the opposite is hooked to the IV which is transferring blood from him to her. No, I’m not making this up. In one other scene, one other John character stops preventing as a result of the Nationwide Anthem begins and he has to face nonetheless. The dangerous guys in fact aren’t so patriotic so that they preserve attempting to injure him with a cricket bat and even a big desk. However he simply stands robust whereas ‘Jana Gana Mana’ performs. It’s actually the stuff of comedy. However I’ll say this for John – he actually works onerous.

This movie has been described as an ‘official non secular sequel’ to Milap’s 2018 blockbuster Satyameva Jayate. I’m not certain what it means. I had described the primary movie as soul-crushing and excruciating. However I used to be incorrect. That movie is Sholay in comparison with this one.

The opening credit of Satyameva Jayate 2 embody the inscription ‘Love you Nora Fatehi’. I do know why they put that in. As a result of her dance quantity ‘Kusu Kusu’ is the perfect factor within the movie.  For a couple of minutes, we get a breather from the nonsensical film and marvel on the seemingly not possible methods through which her stomach can transfer. I used to be grateful for the break.

I don’t suggest it, however in case you do watch Satyameva Jayate 2 at a theatre close to you, don’t overlook to put on a masks.
